rear seat fold down on 75

runcolad · 14th October 2007, 20:07

Hi, can any one tell me how to get the rear seat on a 75 saloon (03) to fold down flat. Mine will not go below about 30 degrees from horizontal.
Cheers.

Welcome to the club and the forum
That's it, they do not go flat.
You can get a bit more out of it by removing the seat cushion but that is just a pain.

On a 51 I used to lift the seat up(the bit you sit on) take the headrests out of the seat swabs, and then it laid flat,but your centre seat belt stays there,
not sure if it is the same on a 53
I found this when I was looking for the fuel filter,I found some tags pulled them and the seat fell on my head
